We've got Naughton who's a better RB than either Vlad or Dier, so that's not a major problem. Naturally I hope Vlad gets well soon, for his own well being of course, plus he is a useful squad member and also apparently has a fair amount of resale value, which I expect us to be cashing in come January.
Pretty sure Naughton is back for this one?
He is back. Why so many people (not just on this forum) get so confused about red cards constantly mystifies, or more accurately, depresses/irritates me

Just for the record, a straight red doesn't necessarily mean three games. It all depends on the nature of the offence and any previous bans within a specified time frame.

I'd still play Vlad personally. I don't fancy Naughton against Hazard, I really don't.
No confusion with red cards Greavsy-boy, save your depression for something worthwhile mate. I'd play Vlad ahead of Naughton against Chelsea.He is back. Why so many people (not just on this forum) get so confused about red cards constantly mystifies, or more accurately, depresses/irritates me

I don't want to shit on Poch, but the fact that he thought it was a good idea to play Lamela ahead of Chiriches worries me a lot. Lennon would track back and make up for A LOT of Vlad's errors when we played Everton. Erik did not and it showed how weak Chiriches really is. His early early yellow didn't help much though.
Are you serious? I've lost count of the times he's tried to dribble or bring the ball out and lost it at both CB and RB! Or the number of times he's played a dodgy, over-clever pass that has lead to a goal or put a fellow player under unnecessary pressure.
You're, and I use this term loosely, a defender Vlad! So kindly defend first and cut out the crap!
I also agree with the confusion over how Chiriches has been rated as good with the ball.
Honestly I'd rather have Dier at RB, even though it's just as a stand-in until Walker gets fit and Yedlin arrives.

He makes some very sloppy passes.
I'm very worried by the routine reports coming from his camp, starting with his agent talking about Spurs being a stepping stone to Chelsea right after he joined us, not to mention routine quotes in the press about being unhappy that he hasn't been first in our lineup.
Lennon was playing on the left today.
You have to play well to have a team be your stepping stone.
True that. But it hasn't stopped Vlad's camp.
At least we've seen some glimpses of the old Vertonghen, recently. Beaten for pace and turned over by Remy today, but otherwise he's looking more committed to the team.
I wanted to throw something when he went one on one and was completely embarrassed for number 3.
Fazio nearly got his foot on it. Nearly.
